"Family's always first. God and family, and I go from there."

-- Tameka Cottle

“I always loved singing, but I thought it was like drawing - just something you do in your own little corner to calm yourself down. But when my friend, the French songwriter Etienne Daho, listened to my songs, he was so moved that told me that I had to do a demo, share them with the world.”
“Darkness is cheap, and Scrooge liked it.”
“A respectful understanding of another's experience.”
“Heaven is a person: Jesus.”
“Practice kindness all day to everybody and you will realize you're already in heaven now.”

“I got my first acting role because I was a singer.”
“Poetry is a way of being alone without feeling alone. It allows you to experience another mind, I suppose. And it does that more fully than other art forms, I think. It doesn't simply describe an experience, or a feeling, or a moment: it evokes it through, say, rhythm or tone or diction or metaphor. It creates a mood. A poem communicates before it is understood; it's not a fully paraphrasable form, which distinguishes it from other forms of writing.”
